As you may know, it’s almost time to spring forward and adjust to the start of Daylight Saving Time. While it can be difficult to make the switch, we’ve got some tips to help make the transition easier on your family.
So let’s get ready for Daylight Saving Time together – read on to find out how!
For Daylight Saving Time, we move our clocks forward one hour. This means that the day appears to “last” one hour longer, allowing us to make the most of the available daylight.
This practice is especially useful in the summer, when the days are longer, allowing us to make the most of the daylight and save energy.
Adjusting sleep schedules
For many families, the most challenging aspect of daylight savings time is adjusting sleep schedules.
If your family is sleep deprived or struggling to wake up in the mornings, start by setting a reasonable bedtime for the entire family. It can be helpful to set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time for the entire week, even on weekends.
It is also beneficial to create a nighttime routine that everyone follows before bedtime. This can include taking a warm bath, reading a book, or listening to calming music.

Setting up a new routine
The key to making daylight saving time work for your family is to create a new routine. You need to adjust your daily schedule and activities accordingly.
Start by looking at what you normally do and figure out how you can make the transition easier.
Once you’ve decided on the adjustments that need to be made, start incorporating them into your lifestyle.
It may be helpful to set reminders on your phone or write down the new routine so that you and your family remember it. Establishing new habits will help you make a smooth transition into the time change.
Structure
Having a plan can help make the time change easier on everyone in your family. Creating a structure for the day sets expectations and helps to ensure that everyone gets enough rest.
Try to have everyone wake up at the same time or start a routine of when each family member needs to be ready for the day. You can also plan for meals, outdoor time, and activities that are tailored to the new daylight saving hours.
It’s best to stick to this plan as much as possible, especially during the first few weeks of adjusting. For example, you may want to limit screen time until you adjust to the new schedule.
